HELP WANTED
In an epic creative journey
that began right here at Ann
Arbor’s folk music venue The
Ark four years ago, singer-
songwriter
duo
Jim
and
Sam decided to push their
musical limits and attempt the
unthinkable: perform one show
every day for the entirety of
2017.
The duo, who got married just
three months before tackling
their
one-show-per-day
challenge, felt frustrated while
struggling to gain an audience
in today’s hyper-digital music
industry. They were “trying to
crack...the code of the internet”
in which musicians resort to
“modern ways to connect with
people,” as Jim said in a phone
interview with The Michigan
Daily. Feeling disillusioned by
an increasingly commercialistic
music industry and eager to
break out of their creative rut,
the musical pair had to channel
the very authentic nature that
typifies their folksy, acoustic
sound and rely on the goodness
of people in order to actualize
their daring idea.
Jim and Sam’s story is one
of serendipity — starting their
365-day tour at The Ark was
completely
coincidental
but
ultimately
offered
them
a
benevolent beginning to their
risky journey.
“(The Ark) being a volunteer-
run venue, there’s a heart there
that was just really special,”
Jim said. “Everybody is warm
and supportive.”
As they took off on a year of
constant performances, they
soon realized that the warmth
and genuine kindness they
first experienced at The Ark
extended beyond the limits of
Ann Arbor. When describing
the ways in which they cut
corners and explored creative
avenues in order to actually
perform one show every day,
Sam remembered that much
of their success came about
because of “ ... (the goodness
of) all the different people who
(came out of the woodwork) and
said ‘yes’ to us.”
The duo found immense
support
from
numerous
individuals
across
North
America who stepped up to
book venues, find audiences
and do just about anything
they could to elevate the pair
and create a reality from their
ambitious idea.
While on their year-long tour,
Jim and Sam were challenged
to connect to each audience in
vulnerable ways and lean into
the musical spontaneity that
Jim recalled as “ ... trying to get
to know a room full of people,
asking them how they’re doing,
and then finding a song of ours
that fits the situation.”
Unlike
the
meticulously
choreographed
and
hyper-
glamorized
musical
performances characteristic of
today’s popular artists, Jim and
Sam relied on their authentic
energy and sincere passion for
connecting with others in their
musical pursuits. They offered
a year’s worth of audiences the
same kind of organically heart-
felt entertainment that thrives
in venues like The Ark.
A serendipitious reunion
ASCAP
GRACE TUCKER
Daily Arts Writer
On Aug. 12, 2017, a neo-
Nazi drove a car into a crowd
of counterprotestors at the
Unite the Right rally. One
woman was killed. On Aug. 15,
2017, President Trump held
a press conference following
the attack and made the now
infamous statement: “You also
had people that were very fine
people, on both sides.”
“Hunters” remembers this.
And it wants you to know just
who exactly is on each side. In
a political climate marked by
“us versus them” rhetoric, this
series demands you to choose
who is with you and who is
against you. As the United
States
faces
the
growing
presence of racism and anti-
Semitism, “Hunters” reminds
us that “never again” may not
be as true as we’d hope.
Set
in
1977
New
York,
“Hunters” centers on Jewish
teenager Jonah Heidelbaum
(Logan Lerman, “The Perks of
Being a Wallflower”) following
the murder of his grandmother
Ruth (Jeannie Berlin, “The
Heartbreak Kid”) who moved
to the U.S. after surviving
imprisonment at Auschwitz.
When Jonah discovers Ruth’s
murder may be connected to
a network of Nazis operating
within the United States, he is
recruited by Ruth’s friend from
the camps and now-millionaire
Meyer Offerman (Al Pacino,
“Serpico”) to join a group of
revenge-seeking vigilantes.
This
group,
the
titular
Hunters, is comprised of skilled
individuals
devoted
to
the
identification and destruction
of former German officers.
As the Hunters unravel the
network of Nazis, FBI Agent
Millie Morris (Jerrika Hinton,
“Here and Now”) investigates
the murders they commit and
realizes their victims may be
part of a wider conspiracy
that
implicates
the
United
States
government
and
its
most
secretive
institutions.
Soon, Jonah’s descent into this
hidden world of amorality and
crime continues as he struggles
to identify what good he can do
amid darkness and evil.
Though
“Hunters”
is
a
work
of
historical
fiction,
much of the series is inspired
by true events, including the
existence
of
Nazi
hunters
and
the
U.S.
government’s
recruitment of Nazi scientists
in
Operation
Paperclip,
which placed German war
criminals
in
positions
at
NASA,
the
Department
of
Defense,
multiple
branches
of the military and other
organizations.
Though
the
U.S. of “Hunters” differs from
ours, the similarities make the
violent, deeply disturbing show
even more shocking.
‘Hunters’ knows that it’s
high time we chose a side
